Managed Service for OpenTelemetry:Manage permissions with RAM users

Last Updated:Mar 11, 2026

With RAM users, you can split permissions, grant different permissions to RAM users as needed, and avoid security risks caused by exposing Alibaba Cloud account keys. To grant team members access without sharing your account credentials, create Resource Access Management (RAM) users and assign them the appropriate permissions.

System policies

Managed Service for OpenTelemetry provides two system policies. Choose the one that matches the access level required:

Policy

Type

Permissions

AliyunTracingAnalysisFullAccess

System policy

Full access to Managed Service for OpenTelemetry

AliyunTracingAnalysisReadOnlyAccess

System policy

Read-only access to Managed Service for OpenTelemetry

Grant a RAM user access to Managed Service for OpenTelemetry

Create and authorize a RAM user

  1. Create a RAM user. When you create the RAM user, enable Console Access if the user needs to sign in to the Alibaba Cloud console, or create an AccessKey pair if the user needs to call API operations programmatically.

  2. Grant permissions to the RAM user. Attach either AliyunTracingAnalysisFullAccess or AliyunTracingAnalysisReadOnlyAccess based on the access level required.

  3. Share the logon credentials or AccessKey pair with the team member so they can access Managed Service for OpenTelemetry through the console or API.

Log on to the console as a RAM user

  1. Open the RAM User Logon page.

  2. Enter the RAM user logon name in one of the following formats, and then click Next.

    FormatExampleNotes
    <UserName>@<AccountAlias>.onaliyun.comusername@company-alias.onaliyun.comUses the default domain name.
    <UserName>@<AccountAlias>username@company-aliasUses the account alias.
    <UserName>@<DomainAlias>username@example.comUses a domain alias. Available only if a domain alias is configured.

  3. Enter the password and click Log On.

  4. (Optional) If multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled for the RAM user, complete the MFA verification. For details, see MFA overview and Bind an MFA device to a RAM user.

Call API operations as a RAM user

To call Managed Service for OpenTelemetry API operations programmatically, specify the AccessKey ID and AccessKey secret of the RAM user in your code.
